What's the appeal to larch? Is it rot resistant?

That's awesome.... Got to say I'm a bit jealous. As far as furniture grade, what is larch similar to?

Larch is like redwood very rot resistant 15 to 20 years exposed with no treatment.

@G-man that's a handy little tractor. I have a Kubota B7200D with a belly mower. Not sure if that's a 7200D or 8200D. Either way I'd use that thing to slip right in where a atv could but skid small logs out. Made food plots and did all kinds of habitat stuff with it at my old place. new place only 1.18 acres so it's been a pumpkin patch tractor at my parent's farm. right now it's hooked up to a 6ft back blade to plow snow at the house.
